About the measure: It bars state elected officials from receiving pay raises when the state's reserve fund has a deficit larger than 1 percent of general fund revenue - which is expected to be $859.5 million this year. The reserve is expected to be about minus $5 billion. There was no reserve deficit last year, which would have made lawmakers eligible for a raise.
